Riding in Revy this last weekend with CoyoteGirl :heart:, and she decided to "tree test" her VE Boondocker Front Bumper.
Dropping into Monster Bowl, she had a little get off, and the sled did a ghost ride down a steep treed hill, picked up quite a bit of speed, and center punched a large fir tree.
The bumper is now offset to one side about an inch...and...NO OTHER DAMAGE!! She rode the rest of the day, and the next!! The other riders with us were AMAZED that there was no damage!!
No pics of the tree, unfortunately, but here are some pics of the bumper, and the mount points (some have expressed concern about damaging the cast aluminum mount tabs if the bumper is too strong).
For comparison, here is also a pic of a Polaris Extreme Bumper, after a much less severe hit.
